—1 Corinthians 1:26-31
by: Benny Uhlich.
Before God saved us, we were broken, weak, and foolish. Now, that we are in Christ Jesus, He has become our wisdom. And through the work of the Spirit of God, we are in the process of being mended, we are becoming strong, and we are gaining wisdom. God is like a coach for a sports team. He recruited us onto His team, not for what we were, but for what He knew we would become with His support and training. In fact, this passage points out that it was because of what we are not that God recruited us, to demonstrate His great power in and through us. The more that we allow God to “coach” us the more we will grow.
